Ignoring the two people staring at each other affectionately, Colonel Phillips walked up to Chen Mo and looked up at the tall and straight figure of Chen Mo. The smile on his face became even more obvious.
"Why did you take so long to come back? This isn't your style."
Chen Mo shook his head helplessly.
"It's all because of those crappy Hydra tanks."
Chen Mo said as he pointed behind him. The captured tanks and armored vehicles were parked in the open space of the barracks at this time. A large group of soldiers were surrounding them and pointing at them. These Hydra equipment was much more advanced and powerful than theirs at first glance.
Colonel Phillips rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Only you can say this.
"Only you would dare to say such a thing. You think these are trash? Why don't you make me something better?"
Chen Mo shrugged when he heard this.
"You should talk to Howard about this. Equipment development is his job, I'm only responsible for combat."
Colonel Phillips angrily stared at him, but there was nothing he could do. Although he was the director of S.H.E.L.D., Chen Mo was the best among them. Coupled with his unique personality and charm, several core members of S.H.E.L.D. appreciated and valued him very much and had a very good relationship with him.
In S.H.E.L.D., Chen Mo's influence and voice were even higher than his. He sometimes suspected that if Chen Mo didn't propose him as the director of S.H.E.L.D. and let everyone vote, Chen Mo would've been elected unanimously. Yes, unanimously, including himself.
He had always thought highly of Chen Mo. His strength, intelligence, talent, and style of doing things were all flawless.
Colonel Phillips had already planned for a long time. In a few years, when Chen Mo was mature enough and he was old enough to retire, he would let Chen Mo take over S.H.E.L.D., and he would retire to manage logistics.
Unfortunately, his wish was impossible. Want to retire? Dream on!
…
Strategic Science Reserve Underground Base
Chen Mo, Colonel, Carter, and Steve, who had just returned from the front line in Italy, sat in the conference room in their military uniforms. Howard, who had returned early, and except for Dr. Erskine, who was in New York, all the core members of S.H.E.L.D. were present, including Steve, who was on standby.
In less than a year, Chen Mo's military rank was already a major. However, with his great achievements in destroying several Hydra bases, this speed of promotion was within reason.
Steve, on the other hand, was at a loss. After returning to the Italian Allied Army camp, Chen Mo directly ignored Senator Brad's request to let Steve return to the country and took him to the secret base under the center of London.
Now, he was mysteriously leading him into this heavily guarded meeting room where no one was allowed to enter.
"There are some things that you should know."
Seeing that Steve was a little confused, Chen Mo explained, which made Steve even more confused.
The two armed soldiers guarding the door of the conference room saluted and left. The door of the conference room was slowly closed. After Chen Mo made sure that no one was eavesdropping, he slowly began to talk about the results of his return to New York.
Howard secretly helped Steve enter the enemy's territory. He was afraid of being scolded by the colonel, so after sending Carter back to the barracks, he directly flew back to London to hide. He didn't dare to show his face until Chen Mo returned, so the colonel and Carter didn't know about the serum and Eidmann alloy.
When they heard Chen Mo's story, both of them were overjoyed. With the improved serum, S.H.E.L.D.'s strength would be greatly improved, and the Eidmann alloy could not only be used in combat, but also play a huge role in many other aspects.
However, Howard looked at Chen Mo strangely. Just now, Chen Mo talked for a long time, but he didn't tell everyone that Dr. Erskine had personally experimented with the serum. He only said that the doctor had developed a new serum with a higher success rate and a slightly weaker strengthening effect. He didn't even mention the specific strengthening effect.
Howard was about to add on, but before he could open his mouth, Chen Mo's sharp gaze swept over him. Howard shrunk his neck and quickly pretended that nothing happened. He sat on the chair and listened carefully.
At this time, Steve's face was full of shock and disbelief.
"Master, you just said, the doctor … is still alive?"
When the serum strengthening experiment was carried out, Steve saw with his own eyes that Dr. Erskine was shot dead by a Hydra spy. He was sad about it for a long time.
Now that he heard from Chen Mo that Dr. Erskine was still alive, and not only was he alive and well, but he had also developed a new serum, Steve couldn't accept it for a while.
Chen Mo glanced at Carter and didn't say anything. He couldn't possibly say that the doctor's fake death was personally planned by his master, and that he was the one who didn't want them to tell him. He watched as he was kept in the dark and sad, and even asked him to put on an act with Senator Brad to cover up the whole thing.
Carter rolled his eyes at Chen Mo and turned to Steve to explain. From the very beginning, before the experiment, they speculated that Hydra might cause damage, and in order to prevent the serum from being abused, they chose to fake the doctor's death to end the super soldier project. Later, they secretly established S.H.E.L.D., formed a special force, and went to the frontline to fight against Hydra.
After listening to Carter's story, Steve didn't get angry because he was deceived. Instead, he looked at the people in the room with admiration.
Steve was a kind and gentle person. He was very happy to know that Dr. Erskine was still alive. The reason they didn't tell him the truth was to hide it better from the outside world. Now that he knew the truth, he was only filled with surprise and admiration, without the slightest bit of resentment.
When he heard that the purpose of S.H.E.L.D. was to maintain world peace, he looked at Chen Mo with endless admiration. His master once said that his dream was to maintain world peace!
In the past, although Steve admired his master's lofty dream, deep down, he didn't think that his master could achieve it. This dream was too big and seemed a bit unrealistic.
But now, Chen Mo really did it, and he was really close to achieving it. He had already learned from Bucky and Carter that during his time as a "star", Chen Mo had led a team to destroy several Hydra bases. It was only a matter of time before the entire Hydra was destroyed.
Once Hitler's trump card was destroyed, the powerful Hydra Corps would no longer be able to harass him. The stalemate on the Western Front of Europe would be broken. When that time came, both the Eastern and Western Fronts would attack at the same time, and Hitler's defeat would be a foregone conclusion!
At this time, Steve finally realized how small he was. Compared to his master, his vision was too narrow. This war wasn't about one country or one nation, it was about the whole world.
In the past, he only wanted to serve his country, but he had never thought about fighting for the whole world. The United States was just a small part of the world. His love for his country was just a small part of it. Chen Mo's love for the whole world was the real love!
Chen Mo exchanged glances with the people in the room, and everyone nodded gently.
Then, Chen Mo looked at Steve and said slowly and solemnly.
